The homepage of Bit Torrent site Pirate Bay was removed from Googleâs search results Friday accidentally, after Google allegedly received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice targeting the site.
A search for "The Pirate Bay" on Friday turned up a message at the bottom of the first search-results page that said: "In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 7 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org."

The complaint was filed by Destined Enterprises, which in the past has helped the adult-entertainment industry battle online piracy, according to other filings at ChillingEffects.org.
